If and are the roots of the equation a x^2+b x+c=0 , then which one of the following is correct?
Options
- Aa^2+b^2-2 a c=0
- B-a^2+b^2+2 a c=0
- Ca^2-b^2+2 a c=0
- Da^2+b^2+2 a c=0
Correct answer
C. a^2-b^2+2 a c=0
Step-by-step solution
Since, and are the roots of a x^2+b x+c=0 + = -b a and = c a we have, ( + )^2= ^2 + ^2 +2 . . a^2-b^2+2 a c=0
